John 19
1 Then Pilate took Jesus [inside and had soldiers] (scourge Jesus/strike Jesus with a whip that had pieces of metal or bone fastened to it).
Alors Pilate prit Jésus et le fit battre de verges.
2 The soldiers also took [some branches with] thorns and wove them to make [something like] a crown. Then they put it on his head. They also put a purple robe on him. [They did these things to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
Les soldats, ayant tressé une couronne d'épines, la lui mirent sur la tête, et ils le revêtirent d'un manteau de pourpre. Puis, s'approchant,
3 Then they kept coming to him and saying, “Hooray for the King of the Jews [IRO]!” and slapping him [on his face].
ils lui dirent: Salut, roi des Juifs! Et ils lui donnaient des soufflets.
4 Once more Pilate came outside and said to the crowd, “Look! I am bringing him out to you so that you may know that I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him [any more].”
Pilate sortit encore une fois et leur dit: Le voici, je vous l'amène dehors, afin que vous sachiez que je ne trouve aucun crime en lui.
5 When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe, Pilate said to them, “Look at this [wretched] man!”
Jésus sortit donc, portant la couronne d'épines et le manteau de pourpre; et Pilate leur dit: Voici l'homme!
6 When the chief priests and Temple guards saw him, they shouted, “Command your soldiers to kill him by nailing him to a cross! Crucify him!” Pilate, [knowing that they could not legally do it themselves], said to them, “You yourselves take him and nail him to a cross! As for me, I do not find that he has done anything for which we should punish him.”
Mais quand les principaux sacrificateurs et leurs agents le virent, ils s'écrièrent: Crucifie-le! Crucifie-le! Pilate leur dit: Prenez-le vous-mêmes et crucifiez-le; car pour moi, je ne trouve aucun crime en lui.
7 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] replied, “[Our ancestor Moses gave us] the law that says we must kill anyone [who claims to be God]. This man claims that he is (the Son of/the man who is also) God, [so you must have him killed] {[command your soldiers to kill him]}.”
Les Juifs reprirent: Nous avons une loi, et d'après cette loi, il doit mourir, parce qu'il s'est fait le Fils de Dieu.
8 When Pilate heard that, he was more afraid [of what would happen to himself if he commanded the soldiers to kill Jesus].
Quand Pilate eut entendu cette parole, il eut encore plus de crainte.
9 So he [took Jesus] back inside the headquarters. He said to Jesus, “Where do you [really] come from?” But Jesus did not answer him.
Il rentra de nouveau dans le prétoire et dit à Jésus: D'où es-tu? Mais Jésus ne lui fit aucune réponse.
10 So Pilate said to him, “Are you refusing to answer me? Do you not know that I have authority to release you, and I [also] have authority to [have] you crucified {command my soldiers to crucify you}?”
Pilate lui dit: Tu ne me dis rien? Ne sais-tu pas que j'ai le pouvoir de te délivrer et le pouvoir de te crucifier?
11 Jesus replied, “The only authority you have is what has been given to you by God [MTY] {what God [MTY] has given you}. The [high priest] put me into your hands. [He has done to me what he wanted to do, and you do not really want to do it]. So he is guilty of committing a greater sin than you are.”
Jésus répondit: Tu n'aurais aucun pouvoir sur moi, s'il ne t'avait pas été donné d'en haut; c'est pourquoi, celui qui m'a livré à toi est coupable d'un plus grand péché.
12 Because of that, Pilate kept trying to release Jesus. But the Jewish [leaders][SYN], [threatening to report to the Emperor that Pilate was not going to punish a man who claimed he was a king], continued to shout, “Anyone who claims that he is a king is opposing the Emperor! So if you release this man, [we will make sure that] the Emperor [learns about it, and then he will not consider you as] his friend!”
Depuis ce moment, Pilate cherchait à le délivrer; mais les Juifs criaient: Si tu délivres cet homme, tu n'es pas ami de César. Quiconque se fait roi se déclare contre César!
13 When Pilate heard that, he brought Jesus out again. He sat down at the place where he made decisions [about punishing people]. The place was called {People called it} The Stone Pavement. In the Aramaic language its name was Gabbatha.
Pilate ayant entendu ces paroles, mena Jésus dehors et s'assit sur le tribunal, au lieu appelé le Pavé, en hébreu Gabbatha.
14 It was almost noontime, on the day that they prepared [things for] the Passover [celebration] (OR, the day before the [Sabbath during] the Passover [celebration]). Pilate said to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN], [ridiculing them], “Look at your king!”
Or, c'était le jour de la préparation de la Pâque, environ la sixième heure. Et Pilate dit aux Juifs: Voilà votre roi!
15 They shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! [Have] him crucified {Command your soldiers to nail him to a cross}!” Pilate said to them, “[He is] your king! Do you really want me to [tell my soldiers to] nail him to a cross?” The chief priests replied, “The Emperor is our king! We do not have any other king!”
Ceux-ci se mirent à crier: Ote-le, ôte-le! Crucifie-le! Pilate leur dit: Crucifierai-je votre roi? Les principaux sacrificateurs répondirent: Nous n'avons pas d'autre roi que César.
16 Then [at last] Pilate agreed to do [what they wanted, and he told the soldiers] to crucify Jesus. John 19:16b-24 Then the soldiers took Jesus away.
Alors il le leur livra pour être crucifié. Ils prirent donc Jésus et l'emmenèrent.
17 [As they left], he himself was carrying the cross [on which they were going to nail him]. They went to a place called The Place of a Skull. In the Aramaic language it is called {they call it} Golgotha.
Jésus, portant sa croix, arriva hors de la ville au lieu appelé le Crâne, qui se nomme en hébreu Golgotha.
18 There, [after removing most of his clothes], the soldiers nailed him to the cross. They also [nailed] two other [criminals to crosses]. There was one on each side, and Jesus was in the middle.
C'est là qu'ils le crucifièrent, et deux autres avec lui, un de chaque côté, et Jésus au milieu.
19 Pilate also [had them] write [on a board] a notice [that stated why they were executing him], and fasten it to the cross. But all they wrote was ‘Jesus from Nazareth, the King of the Jews’.
Pilate fit aussi faire un écriteau qu'il plaça au-dessus de la croix. On y avait écrit: Jésus de Nazareth, le roi des Juifs.
20 Many Jews were [able to] read this sign, because the place where Jesus was nailed {where they nailed Jesus} to the cross was very close to [Jerusalem, where many people had come for the celebration], and because it was written {they wrote it} in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.
Beaucoup de Juifs lurent cet écriteau, parce que le lieu où Jésus fut crucifié était près de la ville, et que l'inscription était en hébreu, en latin et en grec.
21 So the Jewish priests went back to Pilate and protested, saying to him, “Change what they have written from ‘The King of the Jews’ to ‘This man said that he is the King of the Jews’!”
Alors les principaux sacrificateurs des Juifs dirent à Pilate: N'écris pas: Le roi des Juifs; mais écris que lui-même a dit: Je suis le roi des Juifs.
22 Pilate replied, “What I [told them to] write is what they have written, [and I] will not [change it].”
Pilate répondit: Ce que j'ai écrit, je l'ai écrit.
23 After the soldiers nailed Jesus to the cross, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier. But they kept his cloak [separate]. This cloak was without seam, woven [from top to bottom], one piece of cloth.
Après que les soldats eurent crucifié Jésus, ils prirent ses vêtements, et ils en firent quatre parts, une pour chaque soldat. Ils prirent aussi sa robe, mais cette robe était sans couture, tout entière d'un seul tissu, depuis le haut jusqu'en bas.
24 So they said to each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s [decide] ([by] throwing lots/[by] gambling) who will get it.” So that is what the soldiers did. As a result, these words were fulfilled {they fulfilled these words} that [the Psalmist had written] in Scripture, They divided [most of] my clothes among themselves. They cast lots for [one piece of] my clothing.
Ils se dirent donc les uns aux autres: Ne la déchirons pas; mais tirons au sort à qui l'aura. C'était afin que cette parole de l'Écriture fût accomplie: «Ils ont partagé mes vêtements entre eux, et ils ont tiré ma robe au sort.» Voilà ce que firent les soldats.
25 Near the cross where [they had nailed] Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and [another] Mary, the woman from Magdala [village].
Auprès de la croix de Jésus se tenaient sa mère et la soeur de sa mère, Marie, femme de Cléopas, et Marie-Madeleine.
26 Jesus saw his mother standing there. He also saw me standing nearby. Then he said to his mother, “This man [will now be like] your son.”
Jésus, voyant sa mère et, près d'elle, le disciple qu'il aimait, dit à sa mère: Femme, voilà ton fils!
27 And he said to me, “[Treat this] woman as [MET] your mother.” So from that time I took her to my home [and took care of her].
Puis il dit au disciple: Voilà ta mère! A partir de ce moment, le disciple la prit chez lui.
28 Later, Jesus knew that everything [that God sent him to do] had now been completed {that he had now completed everything [that God sent him to do]}, [but he knew that something else that was written in] the Scriptures [had] to be fulfilled {[that he had] to fulfill [something else that they had written in] the Scriptures}. So he said, “I am thirsty!”
Après cela, sachant que déjà tout était accompli, Jésus dit, afin que fût pleinement accomplie l'Écriture: J'ai soif.
29 There was a jar of sour wine there. So [someone took] a stalk of [a plant called] hyssop and [fastened] a sponge [to it. Then] he dipped [the sponge into the wine and] lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.
Il y avait là un vase plein de vinaigre. Les soldats emplirent donc de vinaigre une éponge, et, l'ayant fixée à une tige d'hysope, ils l'approchèrent de sa bouche.
30 When Jesus tasted the sour wine, he shouted, “[I] have finished [all that I came to do]!” Then he bowed his head and (died/handed over his spirit [to God]).
Quand Jésus eut pris le vinaigre, il dit: Tout est accompli! Et, baissant la tête, il rendit l'esprit.
31 That was the day that they prepared [everything for their] ([Sabbath/day of rest]). The next day was a special day of rest, [because it was the day of rest during the Passover celebration]. The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not want the bodies [of the three men] to remain on the cross during their (Sabbath/day of rest) [because leaving bodies hanging overnight would be contrary to their Jewish laws]. So they went to Pilate and asked him [to command that] the legs [of the three men on the crosses] be broken {the [soldiers] to break the legs [of the three men on the crosses]}, [so that they would die quickly]. Then their [bodies] could be taken down [and buried] {someone could take down their bodies [and bury them]}.
Les Juifs, craignant que les corps ne restassent sur la croix pendant le sabbat — car c'était la préparation du sabbat, et ce sabbat était très solennel, — demandèrent à Pilate qu'on leur rompît les jambes et qu'on les enlevât.
32 So, [after Pilate agreed], the soldiers went and broke the legs of the first man whom they had nailed on a cross near Jesus. Then they broke the legs of the second man.
Les soldats vinrent donc; ils rompirent les jambes au premier, et ensuite à l'autre qui était crucifié avec lui.
33 But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead already. So they did not break his legs.
Quand ils vinrent à Jésus, voyant qu'il était déjà mort, ils ne lui rompirent pas les jambes;
34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear [to make sure that Jesus was dead]. Immediately blood [clots] and [other] liquid flowed out, [which showed that Jesus was really dead].
mais l'un des soldats lui perça le côté avec une lance, et aussitôt il en sortit du sang et de l'eau.
35 I, [John], saw this myself, and what I am writing is true. I [know that] I am telling the truth, and I am saying this in order that you may believe [in] (OR, [my testimony about]) [Jesus].
Celui qui a vu ce fait l'atteste — et son témoignage est véritable, et il sait qu'il est vrai, — afin que vous aussi, vous croyiez.
36 These things happened in order that these words would be fulfilled {to fulfill these words} [that are written in] Scripture: “Not one of his bones will be broken {No one will break any of his bones}.”
Cela arriva, afin que cette parole de l'Écriture fût accomplie: «Aucun de ses os ne sera rompu.»
37 And [they fulfilled] another Scripture passage [that has these words]: ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced’.
Et ailleurs, l'Écriture dit encore: «Ils regarderont à celui qu'ils ont percé.»
38 Later, Joseph, from Arimathea [town, went to Pilate and] asked Pilate [to allow him] to take Jesus’ body [down from the cross]. Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but he did not tell anyone that, because he was afraid of the [other] Jewish [leaders] [SYN]. Pilate permitted him to take Jesus’ body, so he went, along [with others], and they took Jesus’ body [down from the cross].
Après cela, Joseph d'Arimathée, qui était disciple de Jésus, mais en secret, parce qu'il craignait les juifs, demanda à Pilate la permission d'enlever le corps de Jésus; et Pilate le lui permit. Il vint donc et enleva le corps.
39 Nicodemus was one of them. He was the man who previously went to visit Jesus at night. Nicodemus bought an [expensive] mixture of myrrh and aloe [spices to put on the body]. It weighed about (75 pounds/35 kilograms).
Nicodème, celui qui était venu la première fois trouver Jésus pendant la nuit, vint aussi, apportant environ cent livres d'une composition de myrrhe et d'aloès.
40 They took the body of Jesus and wrapped strips of linen cloth around it, putting the spices in with the strips of cloth. They did this according to the Jewish customs [about burying bodies in tombs].
Ils prirent donc le corps de Jésus et l'enveloppèrent de linges avec des aromates, comme c'est la coutume d'ensevelir chez les Juifs.
41 Close to the place where Jesus was crucified {where they nailed Jesus to the cross} there was a grove [of trees], and [at the edge of] that grove was a new burial cave. Nobody had ever been put in that cave [previously].
Or, à l'endroit où il avait été crucifié, il y avait un jardin, et dans ce jardin un tombeau neuf, où personne n'avait encore été mis.
42 The Jewish day of rest would start [at sunset, and they had to finish burying his body before then]. So, since that cave was nearby, they laid Jesus’ body there [and rolled a huge stone in front of the entrance].
C'est là qu'ils déposèrent Jésus, parce que c'était la préparation des Juifs, et que ce tombeau était tout proche.
